Netflix is set to launch the new season of Arrested Development on May 26th, just three Sundays from now.

ABC is taking a page out of FOX’s programming book by bringing viewers two new musically-themed shows next fall.

The first focuses on a mother-daughter duo, and will star Idina Menzel. The Broadway actress made a huge splash on Glee last year, and ABC is hoping she’ll do the same for them. Watch her performing "Defying Gravity" in the video above.

The second series is a female-driven sitcom, and there’s no word on casting just yet.

Liam Neeson has been selected to take over the tattoo artist role in Hangover 2, a cameo originally given to Mel Gibson. When some members of the cast and crew protested to Gibon’s participation in the film, a rep for both actors quickly swapped the one for the other.

The rep joked that Neeson would join the film “pending clearance of cast and crew background check.” Apparently, the Irish actor passed the test because TMZ is reporting that Neeson arrived in L.A. Saturday to begin working on the film.

The rapper/presenter says he would like to see his spouse get a chance to show off her humorous side. “I’d love to do a film with Mariah. But it would have to be a comedy. She’s the funniest woman in the world, she just cracks me up all the time,” Cannon claimed.

Mariah, who most recently starred as a dowdy social worker in Precious, said she believes the dramatic role has made her a better person.

“It was definitely a commitment to be seen looking that bad. I love Lee Daniels, the director, but he’s a sick man. He wanted to torture me,” she said. “But you know, it freed me in a lot of ways. I don’t worry about certain things in the same way any more.”

Nicole Richie is to become a comedy star. The socialite - who starred in hit reality show The Simple Life with Paris Hilton - has teamed up with ABC to create a new series.

Richie announced the details on her personal website. “I am so excited to announce that I am officially working on a television project! I am creating a half hour scripted comedy for ABC in which I will be starring in, as well as producing,” she wrote.

NBC has ordered a very ambitious lineup for the 2009-2010 fall season. The network is rounding out their programming with four brand-new dramas and two never-before-seen comedies.

Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are producing Parenthood, a series based on the film they did together decades ago. Peter Krause, Maura Tierney, Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia and Erika Christensen are among the cast. The drama/comedy will explore life with kids…if NBC viewers aren’t already getting enough of that as it is.

Trauma, one of NBC’s new medical dramas, focuses on first-response paramedics (and already sounds doomed). The series is set in San Francisco and stars Derek Luke, Cliff Curtis, Aimee Garcia and others.
